Though what that is exactly, I can't imagine.

I lived in a town not far from his ranch for several years. All you remember is the eroded green flatness, heat, humidity, surly church ladies, and ornery bigots.

And of course everyone who was an exception to that rule. Lots of great, creative, and insightful people in Mississippi too.
